The cursor will disappear when it is in an TextEdit area

[HaujetZhao]

Platform

Operating system and version: Windows 10 2004 19041.450
OBS Studio version: 26.0.0

Expected Behavior

The cursor should be captured.

Current Behavior

When the mouse move into a TextEdit area and become a 工 shape, then it will disappear from the OBS scene, no matter in any softwares.

I have tried reinstalling Windows newest version, then install OBS, but this issue still exists.

Duplicate of #3129 - which is likely a dupe of #2604

Not sure this is a duplicate - I tested this myself and the cursor is actually rendered, but with the wrong inversion.

I have found a workaround for this problem on OBS forums:

Workaround for Windows platform:

1. In OBS, inside the Sources panel, right-click your Display Capture and select Properties. Inside the Properties window turn off Capture Cursor checkbox and click OK.
2. Open Windows Magnifier program (Windows key + "+" key) and zoom out to 100% (Windows key + "-" key).
3. Leave Windows Magnifier program open in the background and record a video with OBS - now your cursor should be recorded correctly.

This is because the Magnifier disables the hardware cursor. Another way to disable the hardware cursor is to enable cursor trails with a trail length of zero.

Changing the pointer color did the trick for me, inspired by @mufunyo 's trail length response.
